Hi
Please revert the last commit[#1], mounting /dev as NOEXEC is incorrect. This break nvidia GLX extension, vmware, mplayer and possible others programs that uses mmap() with execute privilege.

Thanks.

Setting size is not redundant, as without it, tmpfs allows to allocate 1GB by default. Though tmpfs is a dynamic filesystem that only uses memory that is in use on tmpfs, I don't think it makes sense to allow more than 10MB here. Other distributions limit the size of tmpfs also. CC'ing this to the arch-dev-public list, as our bugtracker is down.
